Nos. 644 and 645, 1905.—Petitions of Haimona Katipa and Another, and Wi Kingi Hori and 9 Others.

Petitioners pray that two members of the East Coast Trust Board may be called upon to resign and the third empowered to carry on the business of the Board.

I am directed to report that, as these petitions refer to a question of policy, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
